I have been working in the Alteration business for some 35 years. My first business was in New Jersey in the early 70's where I sold handmade art / craft items and clothing of my own design. After moving back to Lawrence in the mid 70's I opened a boutique called Susie Creamcheeze at 1008 Mass. My then business partner, the other Susie, and I sold handmade clothing as well as imported clothing from Mexico.

I learned the alteration trade working for Theola Nelson in the early 80's. After working for several area alteration shops in Lawrence and Topeka, including ten plus years with Easton's Ltd. in Lawrence, I started working from my home. I moved to a brick and mortar space in Eudora, Kansas in the 90's. I opened my current business in Lawrence, Ks. in December of 2011.
